About 16.7 Update 2

Added the ability to throttle event processing

With the introduction of Event2 mechanism in TeamForge 16.7, most of the legacy events were migrated to the new eventing mechanism which also stores and processes these events in-memory, for better performance. But, this could also lead to memory spikes when there is a surge in site activities. TeamForge 16.7 Update 2 not only has the default threads increased to 12 (including 2 search threads) , it also provides a way to throttle them based on the site usage. The Jboss JVM also needs to be adjusted to accommodate the in-memory event processing (increase it by 1GB). See the related site-options.conf tokens: JBOSS_JAVA_OPTS.

Fixed issues
  • Fixed an issue that broke the Association Viewer for all but en, ch, ja and ko browser locales.
  • Undertow has been upgraded to version 1.1.8 to prevent socket leaks.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented two (or more) application components from having the same source binary repository assigned to them.
  • The add_orchestrate_to_projects.py script has been renamed add_eventq_to_projects.py.
  • Fixed an RBAC issue that prevented status change workflow rule from being honored for users with Global Project Roles.
  • Fixed an issue to improve performance: File attachments in artifacts are not downloaded preemptively when artifacts are just viewed.
  • Fixed an issue with the Assiged To field's user list that excluded the user who's currently logged on to TeamForge.
  • Resolved an issue with browser locales that resulted in incorrect date range calculation in TeamForge Reports for locales such as German and French (certain browser locales support specific date format and hence the date range calculations were erratic).
  • An issue that prevented the take_snapshot.sh script from taking a snapshot of EventQ program and configuration files has been resolved.
  • Fixed an issue that prevented browser title branding changes from being applied to TeamForge pages.
  • Start and idle time columns are not shown when ssh.backend is nio2.
  • sshd.idleTimeout setting being ignored: The sshd.idleTimeout setting was not being correctly set on the SSHD backend, causing idle sessions to not time out. This has been resolved.
  • Associations Viewer: An issue that trimmed all line breaks in commit messages has been fixed.
  • Fixed an issue with the document download dialog box that showed junk characters for Chinese, Japanese and Korean file names.
  • Fixed the incorrect createProjectGroup link in getProjectGroups REST API response.
  • Fixed a few broken ProjectGroup REST endpoints.
